Description

This Bariatric Gelatin Recipe is a light, digestion friendly snack made with plain gelatin, sugar free juice, and water. You bloom the gelatin, dissolve it into gently warmed juice, and then chill it into small portions that support fullness and hydration without heaviness.


Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons plain unflavored gelatin powder

1 cup cold water

1 cup sugar free fruit juice (lemon, cranberry, cherry, or berry)

Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Optional: 2 to 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt (stir in after cooling to warm)

Optional: 1 scoop collagen peptides (whisk in until smooth)

Optional topping: 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds per serving (only if tolerated)

Optional topping: 1 teaspoon finely chopped nuts per serving (only if tolerated)


Instructions

1. Pour the cold water into a heat safe bowl.

2. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the water, then let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

3. Warm the sugar free juice in a small pot on low heat until hot but not simmering.

4. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm juice, then whisk until fully dissolved and smooth.

5. Remove from heat, then let it cool 2 to 3 minutes if you plan to add yogurt.

6. If using Greek yogurt, whisk it in gently once the mixture feels warm, not hot.

7. Pour into silicone molds or small jars, then tap lightly to release bubbles.

8. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, or until fully set.

9. Serve a small portion, then store the rest covered in the fridge.

Notes

Start with small portions, especially after surgery, and eat slowly for comfort.

For a softer set, reduce gelatin to 1 1/2 tablespoons, then chill as usual.

For a firmer set, increase gelatin to 2 1/2 tablespoons, then chill as usual.

Avoid boiling the juice, because high heat can weaken the set and create grainy texture.

If clumps form, warm gently while whisking, then strain through a fine mesh sieve.

Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days for best texture.

If you use it before meals, try 2 tablespoons 15 to 30 minutes before lunch or dinner, then adjust based on comfort.
